REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT BREAKDOWN AND MAINTENANCE SERVICE

Refrigeration equipment breakdown service is considered to be a reactive fault assessment and repair of faults, wheres spare parts are likely to be used.

Refrigeration equipment maintenance service is considered to be a pro-active type of service that does not require fault assessment or spare parts.

Refrigeration equipment service and maintenance is the backbone of our activities. Everything we do revolves around fridges and freezers, cold stores, ice makers, pizza prep fridges, bottle coolers, chest freezers and display fridges. Indeed everything we do revolves around refrigeration equipment one way or another. Should you have any issues please get in contact to discuss the problem and see how we can help you.

For the engineer the planned preventative maintenance is a group of activities of a preventative nature, designed to prevent breakdowns, track and reduce wear&tear, keep system pressures in balance and reduce unnecessary stress on the plant, reduced and balanced peak currents, prevent large and costly refrigerant leaks, keep the equipment safe and meet the legal standards if any apply.

You can find more info on air conditioning maintenance on this page.

For the end-user PPM means reduced downtime of the plant, reduced risk of major breakdowns, equipment is maintained and is in good working order, reduced day to day running costs, extended lifespan of the equipment, reduced risk of unexpected loss of stock and sales. A service and maintenance contract gives you a peace of mind knowing if something to go wrong during seasonal high you will be treated as a first priority customer, ultimately it all leads to higher ROI.

PLANNED PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SERVICE AKA PPM SCHEDULE

The schedule of the PPM is set by the manufacturer and is usually every two months for the duration of the warranty period. It is important to follow the manufacturer guidelines because if the equipment operator(that’s you) reports a fault of the equipment during the warranty period and the breakdown engineer to find that maintenance plan was not met by the customer, the cost of the service call-out, the cost of labor and the cost of spare parts will be passed on to you, as warranty void.

The practical interval between two maintenances may be as long as one year or as soon as every two-three months. It is all down to the type of equipment, how often it is used and the nature of activities on site.

Initially nothing happens, eventually a breakdown of a plant. Sooner or later all sorts of anomalies will start to occur with the equipment. Depending on site circumstances, quality of individual parts and components of the system, application and design of the system, the system will go out of balance. And if this to carry on for weeks then something has to give in, usually it is a compressor as the main driver for the whole system or a combination of two or more faults: compressor fault, condenser fan motor fault, refrigerant leakage.
